2. If you find a pre-owned home on VLS and you go to an open house and want to put in a offer, do you have to have a buyers agent or can you submit an offer to the sellers agent and not use an agent at all?

My wife and I know where we want to live and we enjoy going to look at open house still we find one we love..I’m not sure I need an agent for any of that maybe just a real estate attorney to facilitate the purchase. Thoughts?

Thank you in advance.
Just wondering what area you're looking at and why? You can PM me if you want. Wife and I should be moving there late 2025 but going to rent for a year or two to make sure it's right for us.
